Current Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: April 27, 2015)

Sum of Pain Relief and Pain Intensity Differences From 0 to 6 Hours (SPRID 6 Hours) [ Time Frame: Every two hours from Baseline to 6 hours post dose ]

SPRID:Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) and Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) at each post-dosing time-point. SPRID score ranged from -5.8 (least pain relief) to 40.3 (highest pain relief). SPID and TOTPAR were calculated as weighted sums of Pain Intensity Differences (PID) and Pain Relief Scores (PRS) at each measurement time, respectively. PID was derived by subtracting the pain severity score at a given post-dosing time-point from the baseline [pain severity score range:0-no pain, 1-mild pain, 2-moderate pain, 3-severe pain using a 4-point categorical Verbal Rating Scale (VRS)]. If the subject rated pain intensity as 2 or 3, pain was assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [0 (no pain), 100 (worst pain)]. VAS scores were converted into PID scores by subtracting them from baseline pain scores. PRS was assessed on 5-point categorical pain relief rating scale [0-no relief, 1-little relief, 2-some relief, 3-a lot of relief, 4-complete relief]

• Original Primary Outcome Measures (submitted: February 23, 2010): Change from baseline in the Sum of Pain Relief and Pain Intensity Differences (SPRID) at 6 hours [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 horus post dose ]

Current Secondary Outcome Measures (submitted: April 27, 2015)

• Time to Confirmed First Perceptible Relief [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 hours post dose ]
  Participants recorded the time to first perceptible relief by starting the first stopwatch at the time of dosing and stopping it when he/she experienced the first perceptible pain relief. The first perceptible pain relief was confirmed if the participant also stopped the second stopwatch indicating meaningful relief.
• Time to Onset of Meaningful Pain Relief [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 hours post dose ]
  Participants recorded the time to meaningful relief by stopping a second stopwatch when they first began to experience meaningful relief.
• Time to Start Using Rescue Medication [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 hours post dose ]
  Median time of use of rescue medication by participants.
• Percentage of Participants Who Took Rescue Medication at 2 Hours [ Time Frame: Baseline to 2 hours post dose ]
  Percentage of participants who received rescue medication at different time points post dose.
• Percentage of Participants Who Took Rescue Medication at 6 Hours [ Time Frame: Baseline to 6 hours post dose ]
  Percentage of participants who received rescue medication at different time points post dose.
• SPRID at 2 Hours [ Time Frame: Every two hours from baseline to 2 hours post dose ]
  SPRID:Sum of Pain Intensity Difference (SPID) and Total Pain Relief (TOTPAR) at each post-dosing time-point. SPRID score ranged from -1.8 (least pain relief) to 12.3 (highest pain relief).

PID was derived by subtracting the pain severity score at a given post-dosing time-point from the baseline [pain severity score range:0-no pain, 1-mild pain, 2-moderate pain, 3-severe pain using a 4-point categorical Verbal Rating Scale (VRS)]. If the subject rated pain intensity as 2 or 3, pain was assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [0 (no pain), 100 (worst pain)].

SPID and TOTPAR were calculated as weighted sums of Pain Intensity Differences (PID) and Pain Relief Scores (PRS) at each measurement time, respectively. PID was derived by subtracting the pain severity score at a given post-dosing time-point from the baseline [pain severity score range:0-no pain, 1-mild pain, 2-moderate pain, 3-severe pain using a 4-point categorical Verbal Rating Scale (VRS)]. If the subject rated pain intensity as 2 or 3, pain was assessed using a 100 mm Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [0 (no pain), 100 (worst pain)].

• TOTPAR at 4 Hours [ Time Frame: Every two hours from baseline to 4 hours post dose ]
  TOTPAR was calculated as sum of products of pain relief (PR) at a given time-point (t) with the time-interval from that time-point to the previous time-point (t-1). The time-intervals used were 0-15, 15-30, 30-45, 45-60, 60-90, 90-120, 120-240. Higher score indicated greater pain relief. TOTPARt = ∑PR x (timet - timet-1).

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects aged 18 to 45 years with moderate-to-severe dental pain as assessed by verbal rating scale (VRS) and confirmed by a score of at least 50 mm out of 100 mm using a visual analogue (VAS) following the surgical removal of up to two mandibular third molars.

If two mandibular third molars are removed, both may be partial bony impactions OR there may be a combination of one full bony impaction with the second tooth being erupted, soft tissue impaction, or partial bony impaction. Ipsilateral maxillary third molars may be removed at the surgeon's discretion, regardless of impaction level.
